Tokyo: I took in a homeless girl

It was not sent from LINE, but an email in the mailbox.

It looked like it was sent by Kodansha, but it seemed more formal than the notice from Morikawa Riho. The general content was congratulations to Kiriyama Fuyumi for winning the championship of this competition.

In addition, there is the location and specific procedures of tomorrow's award ceremony, and then congratulations again and informing him that a new contract will be signed after returning to Tokyo.

“Do we need to re-sign the contract?”

Sawayama Haruno was a little curious, stroking his chin uncertainly, "Is there any additional content for the cooperation?"

"Probably not."

Mine Shiori also leaned over to take a look, and said uncertainly, "Generally speaking, even if there is a new publishing project to cooperate on, it won't be so fast. After all, Haruno, you haven't even published or released your work yet, and you haven't even done any promotion yet."

"I think the group is planning to further deepen their cooperation with you because you have won the championship, so they want to give you a better contract, right?"

“So that’s how it is”

Sawayama Haruno immediately understood.

Sure enough, it makes a difference when there is a professional assistant helping to explain.

He thought that signing a new contract meant copyright development and other things.

But if you calm down and think about it carefully, you will find that this is not quite reasonable. After all, he is just participating in a competition that is not open to the public in the industry. How can he make a quick jump to copyright development, movie remakes and the like?

But it would be nice to be able to improve my own treatment. The improvement here should refer to things like future publishing dividends.

That is, things related to money.

"It seems that I need to hire a professional lawyer later."

Zeshan Haruno scratched his head and said helplessly: "I haven't thought about it much before, but now I feel it's time to think it through."

"Yes, I will. After all, Haruno's book has great potential, right?"

Mine Shiori added in a low voice: "Not only a lawyer, but also a professional tax accountant is best. This can save you a lot of trouble. Of course, you don't have to hire a tax accountant so soon. You just need to wait until the tax settlement is done later and then find someone."

"Tax accountant? I just did it on my own before."

"It's better to hire a professional." Mine Shiori still insisted, saying seriously, "A professional tax accountant can help you save a lot of unnecessary taxes. Some things can be completely attributed to work necessities, so you can use the company's channels to ask them to help pay taxes or even exempt taxes."

"so complicated."

Sawayama Haruno's mouth twitched.

"I'll see if I know anyone later."

If you think about it carefully, taxation in island countries is really troublesome.

But it's true, only the country in my previous life would be more convenient.

Most foreign countries require you to fill out a report, and report how much tax you should pay based on your annual income, annual expenditure, and expenses.

As for Europe, Sawayama Haruno is not sure, but if it is in the island country, there will still be many people who will ask tax accountants to help solve this problem.

For example, the computers and chairs you buy can be attributed to work needs, so you can use the company's channels to legally avoid personal taxes.

Strictly speaking, as long as there is a legitimate reason, such an operation can be carried out, and a lot of money can be saved in a year; of course, this kind of thing can only be done by professionals. It is difficult for ordinary people to think of how to deal with it, and filling out the form is also a hassle.

"All in all, I will pay attention to these things."

Sawayama Haruno stood up and smiled gently at the petite girl on the hospital bed. "Thank you, Shiori, for reminding me today."

“It’s just a small thing”

Mine Shiori still spoke in a somewhat calm tone.

But Sawayama Haruno noticed it very keenly, and her ears seemed to be gradually turning red.

What? Are you a little shy because of the thanks?

Sawayama Haruno felt a little amused, but this also proved that the other party didn't have much of a problem. The issue of being caught on the spot was probably eased by today's conversation.

If that's the case, then I don't have anything to worry about from now on, right?

Thinking of this, his smile became more relaxed.

"Then I'll go back first. I have to call Ms. Morikawa later to ask about the follow-up matters."

"If you're going to be discharged in the afternoon, I'll come with you to pick you up."

"Okay." Mine Shiori said softly.

There is nothing serious wrong with her health now. After another comprehensive examination, if the results are still normal, she can be discharged from the hospital in the afternoon.

Suguha actually hoped that she could stay one more day and have more checkups, but Mine Shiori didn't really want to miss tomorrow's award ceremony.

After all, when the time comes, Sawayama Haruno will go on stage to receive the award in a suit.

If you can

She still wanted to witness that scene with her own eyes.

Chapter 202 Video Call with Maki

Things seemed to go smoothly all of a sudden.

Perhaps God felt a little sorry for what had happened after seeing Sawayama Haruno coming to Kyoto, so he arranged everything so smoothly in the new week.

Relying on his strength, he made the Ishizawa family withdraw their shady operations. Not only did he win the championship, but he also secured a large amount of resources for the subsequent publication of books. The matter between him and Ezaki Suguha also got a glimmer of hope with the help of Ezaki Naoto, and he only needed to wait until he returned to Tokyo to deal with it.

Even Mine Shiori's past knot was untied. Although new accidents happened in the past two days, judging from the current situation, it seems that it will not cause too much impact.

After all, after being discharged from the hospital in the afternoon, the other party has recovered to his original state and can chat with Ezaki Suguha and himself normally. Therefore, Sawayama Haruno feels that things should be going smoothly, right?

In the evening, around half past nine.

Sawayama Haruno sat on a wooden chair by the window, looking at his cell phone with some helplessness.

On the other side of the screen was a girl he was very familiar with.

The other person's hair seemed to be a little longer than before, but after being tied up with a small rubber band, it looked just right, and there was an indescribable sense of playfulness.

At this moment, the other person was holding a pile of clothes, gesturing happily in front of the screen. Her body was so white that it was dazzling, and there were only two pieces of light yellow underwear to cover up her sweetness.

"How about this one!"

Miyazawa Maki stared at the screen with sparkling eyes and asked impatiently, "Is it good?"

"It looks good. It suits you very well."

Sawayama Haruno smiled somewhat dotingly.

"But aren't we buying too much? It's already autumn over there, right?"

"What does it matter?"

Miyazawa Maki giggled, holding up the miniskirt in her hand and said excitedly, "The changing seasons give me an excuse to buy new ones!"

That's true, it's the perfect excuse.

But it doesn't matter, I still have the money to satisfy you, Zeshan Haruno thought helplessly.

"Has mother gone back yet?"

"Yeah, I took the Shinkansen back this afternoon, and I even took a day off to see him off." Maki Miyazawa put down the clothes in her hands, suddenly pressed her head against the phone screen, and said with wide eyes, "I heard that my aunt told me to go to Osaka next time I have a day off."

"Really? Did she say that?"

The corner of Sawayama Haruno's eye twitched slightly.

So did you tell this specifically to Miyazawa Maki?

Eh. Is it really okay not to tell this kind of thing to your own son?

Does this mean that I don’t have to go back to Osaka anymore?

He felt that his family's status was beginning to become precarious.

"Come to think of it, that guy named Ayano also went to see him off."

Miyazawa Maki didn't seem to notice that Sawayama Haruno was a little worried, and continued to chatter, "That guy is surprisingly kind."

You are too naive. It seems that guy is quite hostile to you, Sawayama Haruno complained in his heart.

"I hope you're fine. I hope everything is going well for me too."

Looking at the short-haired girl's innocent smile, Sawayama Haruno's mood also improved a little. He smiled lightly and said, "I got the first prize. I will go to receive the award tomorrow."

Miyazawa Maki suddenly stopped moving and stared blankly at the phone screen.

"What's wrong."

"."

She pursed her lips and suddenly leaned forward.

The girl's moist lips instantly filled the entire phone screen.

With a "chimi" sound, she quickly distanced herself from him.

"that."

Maki Miyazawa clenched the hem of her skirt with her small hands and twisted a few times embarrassedly on the chair.

After stealing a glance at Zeshan Haruno's obviously stunned expression, she looked shy and then whispered, "Um. I, miss you a little bit."

"is it?"

Sawayama Haruno gave a helpless smile.

"I'll be back soon. I've booked a Shinkansen for Wednesday morning. Let's go out for dinner together after I get back."

"Oh"

Maki Miyazawa played with the ends of the hair curlers beside her ears, her eyes constantly glancing at her phone.

After a while, seeing that Zeshan Haruno didn't show any reaction, she couldn't help but said, "Well, at night."

"Why don't we eat at home in the evening?" she said dryly.

Isn't this intention too obvious? !

Or is this guy just so easy to guess? ?

At least when Sawayama Haruno heard what she said, he understood what she meant in an instant.

But it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand, after all, the other person is blushing very hard and keeps twisting his body.

"I see. Let's eat together tonight."

Sawayama Haruno coughed lightly.

I don't know why, but when I talk about this kind of thing, I feel awkward.

It’s probably because Miyazawa Maki knows that he might have cheated on her.

Although the other party acted as if he didn't care at all, he knew very well that the person was Suguha Ezaki.

In terms of the relationship between them

Sawayama Haruno pursed his lips, not daring to think further.

In order to divert the guilt in his heart, he said a little stiffly: "Come to think of it, I promised you to go on a trip before, right?"

"what?"

Miyazawa Maki instantly perked up, widened her eyes and asked, "Want to go on a trip?!"

"So, didn't I promise you before?"

Zeshan Haruno coughed twice and asked tentatively: "I think there should be time to arrange it later, so I want to ask you, where would you like to go if you have the chance?"

"Eh--"

Maki Miyazawa drew out her voice, her eyes full of excitement and longing.

"There are so many places I want to go, Antarctica?"

".No matter what, it's impossible for you to travel to a place like that, right?" Zeshan Haruno said unhappily, "Think of a normal place for me. If not, you have to follow my plan."

"Your plan?"

"Well, I plan to go to Macau."
